Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist-Chapter 260 - 76: Jiang Qing: Junior Brother Lin, Your Modesty Makes Me Want to Hit You_3
Lin Chen didn’t use the Wind and Cloud Palm this time. Instead, his silhouette flickered, moving like a gale through the bamboo forest. The seventeenth acupoint was on his leg, so using the Gale Leg was more effective than the Wind and Cloud Palm.

...
Another Special Training Ground in Jiangnan Dao.
Jiang Qing looked at the letter sent back by her mother, her pretty face covered with frost.
The Huo Family!
Putting down the letter, Jiang Qing silently left her residence and headed towards the area where other students were.
A quarter of an hour later, the students of the entire Special Training Ground were watching, shocked, at Huo Tong’s blood-covered, miserable state, and the graceful figure walking away.
This Senior Sister Jiang is truly ruthless.
The reason for her action was... indisputable, just because Huo Tong looked at her, making her quite unhappy.
She really beat up Huo Tong, not even bothering to conceal it.
The students present weren’t fools, knowing that this was Senior Sister Jiang making up an excuse just to beat up Huo Tong. When Senior Sister Jiang came over, who didn’t look at her? But it was Huo Tong who suffered for it.
The most crucial part was that several instructors remained indifferent, as if they hadn’t seen anything.
After beating up Huo Tong, Jiang Qing didn’t return to her cabin but went to see the Academic Platform’s master.
"Uncle Xu, please let me go."
Jiang Qing had a girlish demeanor, showing none of her former cold elegance.
"Qing, it’s not that Uncle Xu disagrees, it’s just against the rules, you’re asking me to break them."
"Uncle Xu, how is it breaking the rules? I just want to understand the students’ skills over there to prepare for the competition."
Jiang Qing smiled brightly, with two small dimples: "Uncle Xu, last time my father seemed to bring back a few jugs of Autumn Blade Wine."
"Three jugs!" Xu Li spoke instantly, raising three fingers.
"Uncle Xu, you’re really pushing it, at most one jug."
"Qing, as the head of the Academic Platform, I can’t lead by breaking rules." Xu Li shook his head: "At least two jugs."
"Okay."
Jiang Qing didn’t haggle further, as she hadn’t specified the jug sizes - she would just divide one jug of wine into two small ones.
"Haha, if it were someone else, Uncle Xu would certainly not agree, but since Qing has asked, I’ll make an exception, go find Instructor Jiang, and have her take you."
"Thank you, Uncle Xu."
Watching Jiang Qing leave, Xu Li’s eyes narrowed slightly. He didn’t believe for a second that she was going to spy on the opponent’s strength.
Connecting it with Jiang Qing’s earlier confrontation with Huo Tong and the recent controversies in the Jiangnan Martial Affairs Hall, he formed a judgment in his heart.
Jiang Qing is standing up for that student named Lin Chen!
The Huo Family has been acting out of line, so Huo Tong getting beaten is deserved.
Compared to Huo Tong’s beating, Xu Li was more curious about the relationship between Jiang Qing and the student named Lin Chen.
"Should I inform Junior Brother Jiang about this?"
Just as Xu Li was pondering, Jiang Qing’s figure returned.
"Qing, is there something else?"
"Uncle Xu, I impulsively beat Huo Tong earlier. You won’t punish me, will you?"
Xu Li’s mouth twitched; if he wanted to punish her, he would have done so already. This girl had an ulterior motive in her words.
"If I were to punish you, it would have happened already. You know better than to ask. What else do you want?"
Jiang Qing’s eyes twinkled with mischief: "Uncle Xu, my father is very strict with me. If he found out I was fighting in the Special Training Ground, he’d punish me. You wouldn’t want to see your niece punished, would you?"
Xu Li understood; this girl was subtly asking him not to tell Junior Brother Jiang about her visit to Lin Chen.
"Well..." Xu Li stroked his beard, not immediately agreeing.
"Uncle Xu, I remember that last time you and my father were drinking, you mentioned something about a Junior Sister Wanru..."
"I agree!"
Xu Li interrupted Jiang Qing’s words, feeling helpless at the girl’s cunning gaze, realizing he was caught.
Men tend to reminisce when drinking too much, boasting a little.
He was no exception, recalling his martial arts school days and mentioning Junior Sister Wanru, unexpectedly remembered by the girl.
His wife was quite jealous, and if that girl were to tell his wife about this...
"Thank you, Uncle Xu. Your niece is forgetful, often forgetting things after a few days."
Jiang Qing puffed her cheeks to suppress a laugh, casually turning and leaving.
...
...
On one side of the valley, a noise broke out, startling dozens of birds, which flew towards the sky.
At the same time, an arrow shot towards the sky, seemingly aimless, but strangely, as it passed through the flock, a heron flew to the path of the arrow, getting shot through the throat.
This scene made it seem like the heron flew into the arrow itself.
"For the arrow to hit accurately, you must predict."
Predicting a target’s movement trajectory is something a Divine Arrow shooter must practice.
This arrow was successful because of spending time in the valley, observing the heron’s flight hundreds of times to predict its flight path.
Watching the area where the birds fell, Lin Chen drew his bow again and fired an arrow casually.
This arrow shattered a large tree in the forest, startling the birds again.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Lin Chen unhesitatingly picked up three arrows, drew his bow, and released them in one go, shooting three arrows together.
Three birds were pierced by the arrows and fell from the sky.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Lin Chen’s lips, but the next moment his pupils shrank suddenly. With a tap of his right foot, he retreated swiftly like an arrow, simultaneously drawing his bow and unhesitatingly shooting an arrow towards the left front forest.
